If you have successfully shut down the old database, it should be
possible to delete it even if the server is still running. A problem
is that currenly, Derby doesn't have a way to avoid the database being
rebooted by a clients trying to connect after you have shut the
database down but befor eyou have had time to delete it.
We did consider adding such a mechanism as part of DERBY-4447. Feel
free to request such a feature with a new JIRA is you think it is
useful.
